6 The Graphic-Advocate Local News September 14, 2011 �� I asked my family recently, which ere their favorites of my recipes. y husband chose steak with sautéed nions and mushrooms. Big surprise here. Sons Ivan (18) and Matt (16) hose beef stew and hot dog soup, espectively. I have lots of theories why each one hose the recipe they did, but there s one common factor that actually oesn’t have much to do with the ecipe itself. It’s the mealtime. We’re a sit-down together for dinner family. We make a point of it, not nce a week or twice a week, but every ight. The TV gets turned off and we ring our stories of the day with us to he table. Sometimes we tell jokes, sometimes e tell stories. Sometimes one person eeds to talk and the rest of us listen. e’ve had some wonderful debates, nd on a rare occasion – a good old ashioned argument. We’ve revisited he past, imagined the future and tried o figure out the present. It certainly doesn’t hurt that my amily is pretty generous with the ompliments when they like what hey’re eating, and over time, they’ve earned to slow down enough to ctually taste the food that’s flying ver their tongues. When my husband and I were wed it was a second marriage for both f us. Mealtimes were in some part esponsible for the successful blending f our two families. It’s where we did he major negotiating, laid down the aw, set things straight and where the oys had a forum for questioning and hallenging. All under the comfortable nd secure blanket of mealtime. When my grandfather, grandmother nd then father died, it was sitting at he table with my family that we were ble to remember them and share our rief. When I was diagnosed with diabetes type 2) a few years ago, it was around the table that we, as a family, learned how to accommodate and accept my disease. Birthdays, weddings and graduations were all celebrated around tables. Homework, projects and experiments were all conducted around the table, competing for space with the snack bowls and drinks. And then there were the board games, sometimes even by candlelight, when the power had gone out because of a storm. Don’t get me wrong, we’ve had some good conversations in the living room, in the car, in my husbands office, and even from either side of the bathroom door. But around the kitchen table, with the people I love, and sharing a delicious meal – that’s my favorite. A very simple recipe that kids love. I will devote future articles to steak and stews, look for them! Hot Dog Soup 1 package hot dogs (any type) 2 cups dried elbow macaroni 1 family size can tomato soup Equal amount of milk Dash of Worcestershire sauce Garlic powder Prepare the macaroni according to directions on the package. Slice the hotdogs and fry them in a large frying pan with just a little oil. (You could also grill them, or use leftover hot dogs from the grill) Cook them until they are charred to taste. Once you have drained the cooked macaroni, put them back in the pot you cooked them in and add the hot dogs. Add the tomato soup and milk and stir. Add a dash of Worcestershire sauce and just a little sprinkle of garlic powder. Heat through over low heat until the soup is hot and serve. Feeds 1 short-ish woman and 3-large men.

September 14, 2011 Sports The Graphic-Advocate 7 Football Titans win two at home, now 3-0 By Ken Ross Graphic-Advocate The South Central Calhoun Titan football team did a lot of things wrong during the football game in Lake City on Sept. 2 against the IKM Manning Wolves, The Titans racked up numerous penalties and twice came within spitting distance of the goal line only to turn the ball over to the Wolves, once on downs and once from a fumble. But the Titans also did something right, winning the game. One other thing the young and relatively inexperienced team did on Sept. 2 was not losing heart when the momentum seemed to be with the Wolves. The home crowd was subdued and smaller than usual due to intermittent drizzling rain. An hour of delays resulted from lightning and at halftime, the Titans were down 0 to 10. The loyal fans who stayed for the second half, were rewarded with an exciting comeback as the Titan defense dug in and the offense came alive to win the game 13-10. “What a struggle,” declared Titan head coach Bryan Case, “I don’t think I’ve ever been a part of a game like this in 19 years of coaching football. We had so many mental errors, which led to penalties and yet we were able to beat a very good IKM Manning football team. It wasn’t pretty, but we’re going to take it. Hopefully we can learn from our mistakes, put this one behind us and move forward. We have a team that’s a work in progress and we will get better.” Titan fans had to only wait one week to see the truth of Case’s prediction. The Titans came onto the fi eld on Sept. 9, again at home, a uch more focused and disciplined roup of athletes. They dominated he Jefferson-Scranton Patonhurdan Rams from the start and on the game 28 - 0. “We took another step forward onight,” Case said, “I thought our eam played well most of the game nd I thought all three phases were mproved from the last two weeks. e still have a long way to go, but e’re headed in the right direction.” Case referred to the Sept. 16 7 p.m.) game in Carroll against $25* Winner Kody Case $15** Winner Pam Chizek **LC Scrip * RC Chamber Scrip WEEK 3 WINNERS $25* Winner Amber Austin The South Central Calhoun Titan defense kept the opponents scoreless in two of the three games played this season and kept the opposing team from scoring in the second half in the other game of the 3-0 start of 2011 Titan football.

Hopefully, the girls will commit themselves in practice to improve their defensive skills.” During the game against Prairie Valley, Tori Jones had the highest number of successful serves, 17/17 with 1 ace.
